Agenda note: DOCUMENT(S) SUBMITTED:
1. An Analysis of Clark County’s Communities and Economy (37 pages), submitted by SRI International
DISCUSSION: Following introduction of the item, the Board was addressed by Shani Coleman, Director of Community and Economic Development for Clark County, who advised that work on the County’s first strategic economic development plan commenced prior to COVID-19 and included an asset map, SWOT analysis, and strategic plans, and focused on economic development services for unincorporated Clark County.
The Board received a report from Roland Stephen, Director at SRI International, on the matter regarding topics including that the Center for Innovation Strategy and Policy (CISP) helped organizations, regions, and counties achieve long-term economic and social impact; the County plan was integrated with the State’s plan for recovery; data collection and visioning exercises conducted with County leaders led to the formation of the Asset Map, the Community and Economic Assessment, and the SWOT Analysis, which then shaped the Strategic Direction and Action Plan for the County; found that significant socioeconomic variance remained between the County’s unincorporated areas, emphasized renewal in housing and amenities; the County was dependent on leisure and hospitality, and needed to diversify and build new economic opportunities in areas such as health services, warehousing and storage, and advanced logistics and manufacturing; a mismatch between qualifications and employment persisted in the workforce; and further advised that the County goal was to achieve diversification through investments in technology-intensive and skill-intensive high wage employment.
Discussion was held regarding various issues including the highest poverty and crime areas in unincorporated Clark County, continuing education, the skilled technical workforce, stackable credentials, job training credits applied to businesses, increased wages, advanced logistics jobs, employees taught the specific skill set needed for a particular business; on the job training, and improved remote learning.
The Board was addressed by Roland Stephen regarding the potential of the health care industry including the potential of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) to be established as a hub for innovation, partnerships to accelerate contributions; the County’s leadership in water conservation practices, challenges to meet the renewable energy and power needs of the future, and needed infrastructure constructed; the County’s outdoor recreation economy; and discussed the County’s potential to be the destination for exploring new technologies.
Discussion followed regarding internet and broadband access and speed.
